HE rapid approach of the: /Annuals from an appar-

ently distant and whollyuncertain future to a nearand distinct reality pro-claims the period whenthe editors of THE TECH

must lay aside the pen,· and must steal away for

a season of industrious grinding. With theaccomplishment of the weekly task which hasbeen set before them throughout the year, theirattention, like that of their fellows, must beturned to a preparation. In placing the lastregular issue of the year before its readers,THE TECH but repeats, with even greaterfervor, the wish expressed at the end ofprevious twelve-months, that the stormy pas-sage of the examinations may be well traversed,and that the long summer recess may beenjoyed with blithest spirit by the entire studentbody. To the instructor it would wish a season

of well-earned restfulness; to the Senior, theimmediate securing of varied remunerativepositions.

The year for THE TECH has been one ofmingled success and failure. Notwithstandinga rigid economy along every line, a deficit hasbeen incurred, due to a subscription list whichhas been far from representative, and truly dis-piriting. Each issue has contained the pre-scribed amount of reading matter, while severalnumbers have passed far beyond. During theyear, three special numbers have been pub-lished with five half-tone reproductions of the'Varsity Football Team, the Junior WeekPlayers, and the Musical Organizations. AClass Day issue will be edited by the Board,and will appear as an elaborate souvenir ofCommencement Week.

Thus the files of the fourteenth volume willhave been completed, and soon another willhave been begun. With no little anticipationthe editors are looking forward to the work ofanother year, and every effort will be putforward to make the representative of ourcollege one entirely worthy: it only remains forTechnology to extend a rightful support, whichshall be much more stable than former yearshave granted. To Ninety-five we wouldsuggest that that man best retains the sincere,devoted love for Alma Mater, who maintainsa constant interest in and knowledge of thehistory of the student body which he has leftbehind, and preserves a deep sympathy in hisfellow-graduates who are laboring in a pur-pose similar to his own.

FEOR Technology, the year which is nowso nearly over, has been one of en-

couraging successes; in one respect alone,possibly, disheartening. The final grantingof the State appropriation has well dispelled

Page 10: Boston, Massachusetts. Itech.mit.edu/V14/PDF/V14-N30.pdf · 2007. 12. 22. · T'HE TECH J. C. LITTLEFIELD, Ta ilor · and · Outfitter, 21, 23 BEACON STREET, BOSTON. I m I can ofler

the cloud of uneasiness caused by the harass-ing lack of necessary working funds whichthe two years immediately past have experi-enced. The prestige of our college as aninstitution of most stable and brilliant traininghas been with each month aggrandized, untilat length its work in several departments hasbeen' recognized as superior to the Conti-nental schools. The number of students hasbeen maintained at a high level, notwithstand-ing an exceptionally trying financial statusthroughout our country, especially in theWest whence so large a proportion of men isderived. It is scarcely necessary to advertto the marked development during the yearof the social side of our college life; nor isit necessary to refer again to the importanceof this growth to our future history. Through-out the entire mass of alumni a greater inter-est has been aroused and much has beendone toward gaining that sentiment amongour graduates which has been proved soindispensable to substantial growth. The un-fortunate loss of several instructors has indeedmade a large gap which will be filled onlywith peculiar difficulty.

IT has doubtless been obvious to all duringthe recent activities of Junior Week, that

the selling of tickets and librettos at tables pro-miscuously posted about Rogers corridor wasinconvenient, and certainly unsightly. Aremedy has been suggested, and we concurin the belief that some change should be made.The plan offered provides for utilizing theJanitor's room under the left stairway in' thecorridor. The three windows which openfrom the room into the hall might be converted,at a slight expense, into ticket windows backedwith convenient box offices.

"The Cage" is a daily reminder of thegenerosity and farsightedness of the Class of'9 I , and could an arrangement such as hasbeen suggested be made by a class now at Tech-nology, an innovation would be introducedwhich could reflect only honor to the donor.

ATURDAY evening will doubtless prove-to be a somewhat momentous occasion

in the eyes of the Freshman Battalion. Avery considerable amount of work has beendone by the several companies in prepara-tion for the drill with Harvard, and an inter-esting competition may well be anticipated.The South Armory is certainly well adaptedto the undertaking, and, should the properappointments be secured, everything willbespeak a true success. As an importantfactor, we would suggest that ushers be ap-pointed who will be less afflicted with a senseof their own greatness and who will be ap-parently more accustomed to evince an ordinarypoliteness and dignified bearing than werethe incumbents of this position last week atthe Battalions' Exhibition Drill.

While too great reliance cannot be placedupon the work of our representatives, andover-confidence should above all things beavoided, it is safe to say that Technologywill make an extremely creditable showing.THEF TECHi extends its heartiest well-wishesto Ninety-eight in its enterprise and hopesthat all honor will accrue to the class.

CARCELY a year has before passed whenso much has been done by several Tech-

nology organizations to aid, principally infinancial measures, deserving students, and toadvance to as great an extent as possible theinterests of the entire student body. The Co-operative Society, following a plan suggestedby Dr. Tyler, has recently undertaken ascheme which is certainly most commendable,and, should itbe carried through with success,will prove exceedingly valuable. By a seriesof advertisements in the Boston daily press,and by a number of other plans, the Societywill attempt to secure during the coming montha list of varied positions which may be filledby those competent students who may desireto work during the summer months. Appli-cations for such places will be filed with Mr.

A. D. Maclachlan, who, as manager of theundertaking, will act as the agent of the Societyin securing business and engineering openings.

With so short a period before commence-ment, but little can be done other than to provethe feasibility of the plan, and place it upona firm basis, leaving the aggrandizement ofthe project to future years. To meet with truesuccess, a general interest and co-operationfrom Technology men must be extended.

THE last meeting of the Institute Committeefor the year was held May 2d, in Room II,Rogers. The important business taken upwas the adoption of a new Technology pin.Several samples were examined carefully,and after much thoughtful consideration it wasdecided to accept one which has met withdecided favor fi-om the members of thecommittee. The pin resembles the one nowin use in point of shape, size, and color ofenamel, and the choice was made chiefly onaccount of the great popularity of the trian-gular pin. The new form is the red triangu-lar field, with the initials M. I. T. scored insilver. One of the strong points of the pinlies in the distinctness of the T, while the lessimportant letters are artfully introduced so asto produce a scroll-like effect. The committeedecided to place on exhibition at its own ex-pense a sample of the new pin, and as soon asit can be made it will be posted beside the colorsin Rogers Corridor. The pins may be obtainedfrom Guild & Son, jewelers, corner of Washing-ton and Winter Streets, and will cost one dollar.It is sincerely hoped by the Committee thatthe new model will be universally adopted byTechnology, and that it will be widely used.

The extensive engine tests, conducted bythe students of Course II. at the Chestnut HillReservoir, were successfully completed lastThursday. The tests have created a veryconsiderable interest in that they are morethorough than any which have been hereto-fore undertaken by the Mechanical Engineer-ing Course, and because they will result inmuch valuable and authoritative data for thecity and for Technology. Such excellentresults have been attained by the students inthe past that the city suffiered a large expenseto furnish the men with every convenience, inorder that the tests should be successfuil. Twomore water supply stations, one of which is atBrookline, have been placed at the disposal ofProfessor Miller for tests during I896 and '97.The principal results obtained were the num-ber of foot pounds of work done at the water-cylinders with Ioo pounds of coal under theboiler, and the amount of coal required for thedevelopment of one-horse power. The obser-vations required constant attendance, day andnight, which necessitated work by differentsquads. The instructors who had supervisionof the work were Mr. S. Reed, F. Ho Kewes,and C. E. Fuller; on account of illness, Mr.C. A. Reed was relieved by Mr. W. A.John-ston.

Walker Club Dinner-" Newspaper Night."THE Walker Club held its last meeting of

the year at the United States Hotel lastThursday evening, where an enjoyable spreadwas served, followed by brilliant speeches andlight music.

The event was called by the club "News-paper Night," in honor of its guests andspeakers, who were three Boston newspapereditors, Messrs. Baxter, Chamberlain, andMillet of the Herald, YTranscrzit, and 2oult'sCompZanion respectively. The talks repre-sented three distinct sides of reporters' and

editors' work. Mr. Baxter referred in astraightforward way to three requisites in theproduction of a successful newspaper,-accu-racy, interest, and interesting news. Mr.Chamberlain, the writer of the spicy "Lis-tener," of the Trantscripzt, added to the latternecessary capabilities the quality of simplicityin words and --sentence structure. After someduets by Messrs. Barber and Small, of '98,Mr. Millet, having been introduced by Dr.Ripley, the presiding officer, crowned thesuccess of the evening by a very witty talk.

The next speaker was Professor Vogel, whogave much interesting information on "Societyin German Universities." Mr. Bradlee spokeon the advisability of producing an Englishplay by the Walker Club, and the possibilityof finding a local author who would be willingto write one. Professor Bates deemed theidea entirely feasible, and the question wasreferred to a committee of five, after whichthe meeting adjourned.

THE 'I TECH

,- ,.Mr~.\*@' an

THE Lounger believes that any announcement hemight make apropos of the somewhat excessive pro-pinquity of the end of term time would go unchal-lenged. Such a statement, while wholly reliable andtrustworthy, might, with the evil minded, be takenas trite, if not offensive, and hence the Lounger iscareful not to make it, at least in direct language.Circumlocution, which is a most convenient device ofthe pusillanimous, is obviously not to be encouraged;moreover, metaphor and direct falsehood are equallyliable to run away with their employer. Thereforethe Lounger seldom adopts any of these hazardousexpedients, or, if hle does, applies them in his usualdiscreet manner, leaving the expectant reader to judgewhich of them has been for the moment selected.This being the case, and the subject in hand beingnot a discussion of the principles of composition, theLounger will proceed.

This year the unusually usual unsuccess of his sheepchase has forced the Lounger to a more than custom-arily rigorous consideration of his return, and behoovedhim to weigh carefully the allurements of another yearat Technology as contrasted with the prospect of be-coming the guide, philosopher, and friend of youth ina field somewhat larger than our college now affords.Certain valuable considerations prompt him to remain,not the least important of which is an offer to edit anew comic fortnightly (yet unnamed), which the littlebirds whisper is soon to be sprung on the Technologypublic. The offer is doubtless flattering, but theequally blandishing overtures from THE TECH, and acertain fondness for old associations, bid him be trueto his old love-till he finds a better new one.

He also confesses a certain curiosity to see whetherthose of the Faculty who receive the courtesy of agratis subscription will trouble themselves to theextent of penning an inexpensive note of thankstherefor. The Lounger recalls this year but one ofthese sufficiently mindful of the amenities to bestowthis customary acknowledgment, and to this one the

Lounger would convey his sense of appreciation.Perhaps, too, another year may see a little moreinterest in Technology's only journal among our corpsof learned professors, as well as among those wightsof lesser degree, who spend their father's money withsuch easy freedom. This, however, is but profitlessspeculation, and dispiriting at that. Of more pleasantprospect is the coming of the time of summer moons,and lazy idling in canoes, or uponi a grassy bank, orupon a hotel piazza, white duck trousered within aninch of one's life, in the expressive language of an ableromancer, not of the Lounger's school; or again, ofsturdy bouts with old Neptune, whose realm remains,after all is said, the best place to enjoy one's self in,or on, or, indeed, anywhere excepting under. Life isa pretty enjoyable thing any way you have a mind totake it, and were it not for exams.,-oh, well, that isanother pair of sleeves, as they say in France (in thewords of the same romancer), and the Lounger willleave consideration of this interesting topic to hisamiable friends, the grinds, and their no less amiableantitheses, the sports, he himself having, as he mayhave remarked, no longer any active interest in it.This perplexing question out of the way, no less anoccasion than Commencement, with its round of cere-monies, is ushered in by the lusty efforts of the Glee,Banjo, and Mandolin Club Co. (Ltd.), an attractionbrave to see. This is the time, the Lounger's acumentells him, when L'Avenir should have sprung its secondrepresentation, but as he has scruples against anyone's quoting the old proverb about hindsight, he willsay no more. This, too, is the time when the festivepresident of the Juniors casts his eye about him insearch of the twenty handsomest men in his class,who shall co-operate with him in finding for James' orCharlie's papa and mamma a front seat, whence to seeJ. or C. receive his little diploma or perchance speakhis little speech ; or in renewing their youth as ushersat the Senior Prom.; or in filling their unholy mindswith Baccalaureate Sermon when they would muchprefer to be at Riverside.

Truly, Commencement is a pleasant period, for allthat it marks the end of another year in the collegelife. To the Seniors, to brave Ninety-five, it isdoubtless the most portentous season of their hithertojuvenile existence, and the Lounger wishes he mightshare its responsibilities and honors with them. As itis, the satisfaction which the Lounger takes in fes-tivities of this sort is largely secondhand. That is tosay, he deputes several kind souls to do his graduating

for him, and tries to imagine that this suffices. Theactual delight of standing on that stage as a full-fledgedSenior has, lie fears, no lively prospect of realization,and so for some years past, he has been compelled todo his graduating by proxy. He now awaits a geniuswho shall show how many proxies are equal to onefull, authentic, all-wool, diplomatic dismissal, that thisharmless device of the Lounger's may succeed in pro-curing for him the long-sought object of his quest, andrender his bond with Technology only that whichsprings from the consciousness of arduous duties faith-fully unperformed.

A TRIPLE LOSS.

The first time I met Rose MarieStraightway my heart I lost;

I loved her deeply, fervently,And counted not the cost.

Ere long I told my love to her,And passionately plead;

I fear I acted like a fool,In fact, I lost my head.

I told her that I'd lost my heart,My head was lost, she knew;

She said these things could not be spared,And so I lost her, too.

- Yale Record.

REMORSE.

Poor little butterfly! I thought you knewI only chased you for your golden wings.How could I tell you did not know these things

As others do ?

Poor little butterfly! I did not knowMy touch would make your brilliant colors fade.I never would have caught you to have made

You suffer so.

IPoor little butterfly! So now you lieUpon my hand, the little feather thingsOf color gone; and you have shut your wings

And will not fly.

Poor little butterfly! Do you not knowThat not for all your staying can you getOne color back? Fly off! And yet, and yet

You must not go.-Cytnic.

THE THREE LOVERS.

rFrom the German.]

And as they stepped within the room,There lay she in the coffin's gloom !

The first drew back the veil, and soHe gazed on her with look of woe.

"Fair maid, didst thou yet live," sighed he,"My love henceforth I'd vow to thee."

With tears the next replaced the veil,And turned away with bitter wail:

" O that thou sleepest on thy bier!For I have loved thee many a year."

The third again drew back the veil,And kissed her lips so cold and pale.

"Ever I've loved thee, still I love thee, Will love thee through eternity."-Coi-nell Era.

E'en if spring holds something airy and more fair,More delicate its garment, breathing more the airOf freedom and of grace, still, co-ed, I'll sing to youAnd the wrap you've left off wearing only a week or two.

Great was its expanse, to cover those sleeves of thine,Their ' tuck" was often "taken" by these willing hands

of mine,While we were face to face, a kindly smile between,-My lingering told the love I could but illy screen.

Pardon if I dissembled, Maud, as I held you there,And lied and swore my fingers brisk and nimble were,When they were slow and often twvo-fold clumsy they,While you cried, " Harry, hurry! Any time to-day!"

E'en if spring holds something airy and more fair,Still my thoughts will linger on you as you were,For as I wrapped you in to ride, to dance, to dine,I folded in the garment black this poor heart of mine.
